This past Saturday I met up with Lydia to check out Roundabout's sale (50% off! & a sidewalk sale where items were $10-$25.) Since I liked my Thursday outfit so much, I decided to wear it again so Lydia could photograph it. At Roundabout I tried on a bunch of pieces & walked out with 2 things (photo) I won't wear that often but had to purchase. It's like an episode of Resale Royalty I saw a couple weeks ago, sometimes I buy pieces to fulfill a fantasy life I wish I had. But that's okay as long as it doesn't get out of hand.
I bought a pair of velvet Balenciaga pants that retailed for almost $1000. I paid $35 because they were 75% off plus an extra 50% off! I also picked up a gorgeous Tracy Reese dress with a fun scale-like print for $59 (regularly $475 if eBay is to be believed.) At this point I have nowhere to wear it, but hopefully I'll be invited to a wedding or something soon!
After shopping we had a quick bite to eat and stopped at The Historical Christmas Barn to check out their sale. My sister used to work there and they always have really cute stuff. Before we went our separate ways, we took our outfit photos on a cute stone path behind the store. Prepare for a deluge of photos! (I said deluge like Dori in The Hobbit, he says it funny)
Song of the Day: Further On Up The Road - Eric Clapton
Sweater: Made by Grandma, Skirt: J.McLaughlin (Coco's $10 sale), Sandals: Manolo Blahnik (Roundabout Resale), Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs (Shopbop), Watch: Skagen (Rue La La), Rings: vintage & Mom's

I had an outfit post planned for today, but got a fun email from The Outnet last week letting me know that a ton of great Valentino pieces would be added to the site today! From the press release: Valentino's iconic designs epitomize Italian glamour. Renowned for show-stopping red gowns, delicate lace dresses and luxe leather accessories, this is the label to be seen in this season. Make like Rachel Bilson, Alexa Chung and Amy Adams and embrace Valentino's exquisite style - at up to 65% off at THE OUTNET!
Many of you may recall that I got my first (and only) Valentino piece via The Outnet's 2nd birthday sale for $2! It is a gorgeous jacket that retailed for $8,000 - see it in this post. Below are some pieces along with their pricing on The Outnet. I will update them later to include links once they are live on the site!

I wore this two weekends ago when it was SUPER hot. I wanted to wear as little clothing as possible without being naked, so I decided to bring back the 90s with this denim mini skirt! I've had it since middle school I believe...but it used to have a layer of ruffles underneath which I have since removed. I also wore very limited makeup; a bit of bronzer, blush, mascara and lipstick = done! Easy, peasy! :)

July is already halfway over...what is this madness?! Right about now I am in vacation countdown mode, only one week to go and I'll be spending a blissful week in a beach house right across the street from the beach in Rhode Island!
I wore my new Marc Jacobs dress on Monday and I love it! It is super comfortable and I love the fun detail at the bottom. The only problem is it wrinkles SUPER easy (and I don't own an iron...) I'll just have to drive the long 5 minutes to my parents house when it needs to be ironed. I also wore a pencil skirt to work for the first time ever...what?! But this skirt that I got for $10 at Coco's needs to be shown off, so I wore it with the sweater my grandmother made for my mom (who then passed it on to me) to dress it down.
